Home protection plans can increase the marketability of a home by providing a peace of mind extra that competing homes may not have.

A home warranty increases marketability:

• Warranted homes sell up to 50% faster than non-warranted homes
• Homes with a warranty sell for about 3% more, on average (Business Week)
• Reduced chance the seller will be asked to reimburse the buyer for a breakdown of a covered component
• Better chance that the closing won't be delayed by a malfunctioning warranted item
• It provides the buyer with a full year of coverage on the homes major systems and appliances after they move in.
• In the event that something covered breaks down, only a deductible is paid and the Warranty Company pays the remainder.

Buyer coverage on selected items:

• Central Heating System
• Electric Central Air System
• Interior Plumbing
• Built-in Appliances
• Electric Pool Equipment

The seller may also have coverage on certain items while the property is listed for sale,even before the coverage is paid for.

Homes sell 60% faster and for a higher price than homes without a home warranty according to a study by the National Home Warranty Association.
